i think teams are allowed to send a doctor and one athletic trainer.
I'm sure, but seems like it would be a lot more work rather than having everyone in one space. Guess no way to really know. Atleast we won't have to deal with prospects refusing to take part in combine activities and waiting for pro day

I think this is probably the best explanation

Im actually so happy about this, no meaningless talk of 3 cone drills or agility scores on here, sorry stat geeks. Just going by game day footage. No one will be reached on or pushed down because of meaningless underwear olympics stat, any pro day stats we see will be looked at very skeptically. I couldnt be happier. Id keep COVID around for years if the result is we didnt get the NFL combine.... i also enjoyed the Pandemic draft and hope they will do it that way again.

You would think if you had all film based approach, you would want the combine so it would push those "meaningless stats" players up and the players you want down to you. Regardless, we're going to have pro days so if anything that will just space out the testing talk and the merits of the numbers

Actually think it will kind of counter intuitive lol. There will be a lot of people that take the pro day numbers as gospel and they'll just use those as their testing measurements. Except now the testing numbers won't be accurate and sensible people won't be able to trust them. I understand some people thinking the combine doesn't matter much, but I can't really understand being excited because there is no combine. I get a lot of information from the combine that isn't stat related.

I got excited about Sanders after seeing the way he moved during drills at the combine, and traded up to get him. CD was already a favorite of mine, but I got really excited when he made that nutty catch and the rolled back up to his feet.

Also despite 40 times being mostly irrelevant, its still good to have accurate numbers. the difference between a 4.48 and a 4.44 is negligible, but if there's a prospect that I like and he runs in the 4.7's, I would like to know that. Film can be deceiving, numbers don't lie though. More information is never a bad thing.

And at the end of the day, Who doesn't want football content in March? at the least, the very fact that the combine happens gets people to start talking about prospects. Plus Rich is always a fun time in the booth. I love when the combine starts up.

I like the combine. It helps show which prospects actually put in the work and were dedicated after the college season. I’m especially interested in the numbers from players who didn’t play a lot or at all this last year. Granted Clarett was out 2 years, even 1 year can have a detrimental effect on physical performance.

My whole statement was tongue in cheek. The combine is at least NFL content to let us wet our beaks and it would have been fun as always to have it. My main point is that Combine numbers do get held up too high IMO. They really do not matter and i feel like that add more misses then they do hits TBH. Lots of guys get overdrafted due to the combine.

Regarding these changes, I saw something that the only testing allowed was at pro days and "all-star games". Yep, plural. This tweet says singular- https://twitter.com/TomPelissero/status ... 0087686144

Only games I can think of that could qualify are the east-west game and the senior bowl. Both of those games are early in the process (for most fantasy players). While pro days can include athletes from other schools in the area, could we see the league creating other all stars games (maybe regional ones) just for this offseason? Could put the Covid protection onus on the NFL, and shift from NCAA teams, which may not have the resources/practice the NFL does.

The bolded probably could have been worded a bit better given what we’ve seen as the outcome of COVID. I’m guessing you really don’t feel that way.

Actually, personally your other thoughts are why I’m unhappy about this. It always seems to work to my benefit when guys climb the draft charts because they turn a hot 40 or drop because of a poor shuttle.

My whole statement was sarcastic tongue in cheek. Of course i dont want Covid around for years. Except i did enjoy the pandemic draft, i actually loved the way they did that and think they should keep it that way.

Boys it looks like there will be a private workout with over 130 draft eligible prospects hosted by a company called EXOS which is looking to recreate the combine environment.

We are back in baby. No more hand timed 40 guesses

I can’t imagine why top prospects would want to attend that. Maybe the later round guys would to try to make a name for themselves. In any event, anything is better than nothing

Edit: ah, it’s only players training at this particular company
